Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It's not uncommon for school to be portrayed on screen as the unhappiest days of your life, but it's rarely been done with such astonishing conviction as it is in this needle-sharp, pitch-black comedy drama set in an ivy-clad prep school not far from New York.
Pitched somewhere between Gus Van Sant's Elephant and Michael Haneke's Caché, its pupils are so callous, and its teachers so craven that adult viewers will be thanking their lucky stars they've been to their last assembly.
